Lighthouse Keeper

A long haired man came to my door Wearing Roman sandals carrying a golden sword He said "Come with me and I'll take you higher" We soared out of the atmosphere On his magic carpet that he let me steer Said "take the reins and I'll let you fly her" We escalated through a thick of clouds And our only thought was not coming down Towards the amber glow I started to feel the fire There was a unicorn with a neon horn Wearing a velvet saddle that was slightly worn I pulled my mystic rug right up beside her I sat down on a floatin stool She knelt her head and produced a jewel And I smiled and asked if I could ride her And I saw the lighthouse keeper His hollow eyes that pierced my soul He said that I'm just a desperate seeker Searchin' for what I did not know On Pegasus I was flying free Careless lost over a purple sea When I came upon this lonesome fortune teller She gazed into her crystal ball And I saw that giant gavel fall She asked if I could be her pall bearer And I heard that gypsy prophesy Of the tearin flesh and the mother's cry And the crimson flow of blood that would run forever We stood before the kings and queens And the hooded man with the guillotine And prepared to meet the eternal tax collector Then I dined there with an aristocrat on his balcony with a welcome mat And he laughed and drank all the wine from the cellar
